  2. Being a parent is hard, being a good one is so much harder. They won't be "good" parents if they're too nice, just like they won't if they're not nice enough. And it's the same for every qualities they need to be a good parent, it's a question of dosage.
    They have to be harsh and nice, patient and exacting, ...

  6. On a facebook there is a group : " with all that we have done to our parent , ourd children would have difficulties to do more " it's like that having children nowadays seems to be more different than before . So , is it easy to be a good parent nowadays ? What are some of the qualities of a good parent ?
    Children have never had so many rights than todays , indeed children have all the right : " the king children " Perhaps because parent have less children they tend to become more lax, they allow their children to do all they want ; they don't want to hurt them .
    In other hand there are some parent who try to be more strict but they are subjected to the other people's opinions. They are under the presure of the " other's opinions" . They fear to be categorize as " bad parent " . To my mind there are too much of these " psychology of children" which press parent to don't pay attention , and allow their owns children to have too much of liberties .
    Certainly it's not easy to be a good parent because ; first tere are some parent who are too lax , they are completely overtaken by events . For example , the famous reality tv show " super nanny " , a unknown woman named " super nanny " comes in a family to help the parent to find their lost authorities . it's amasing that a woman who don't now anything about your own children comes to tell you solutions about them ! Secondly there are some parent who give up under the presure of the society , they must have more courage and face to the other .
    Finally , in my opinion parent must be certainly understanding , but they musn't forget taht they are parent and not frien ! They represent " parental control " they must inform their children about the different danger that a child could met in his life . Even if children think it is damn , they will see in the futur that their parent were right .

  7. Hello, I am not in this situation but I can imagine it.
    Firstly, parents are the ones who make us discover everything from the most insignificant to the most important things. They are our role models and they create everything that we are.
    Thus, it is a big responsibility for a parent to raise a child.
    On the one hand, they have to learn basic things : how to eat, speak, walk, respond, focus, understand. On the other hand they have to teach us important things in life that make us a "whole" person : in whom we should trust, that we have to be proud of ourselves no matter what, that we should listen and understand others, that we have to believe in ourselves and to be confident, to be compassionate but not too much because it can gnaw you from the inside. Not being too much naive and candid because you could be manipulated, helping those who are in needs, etc…
    All of this things and all of those that I didn’t mention are so difficult to learn, even with all of your strength and will, your child can lose these notions with time. They can lose them because of bad frequentations/ toxic relations, depressive phases, grades, etc…
    Besides, in most cases, the values that parents instill are things that they would have hoped their parents had taught them in their youth but didn't.

    Furthermore some parents instill their beliefs which aren’t in line with what their children are, for instance : having to love someone of the opposite gender, being engaged and having child(ren), having the work THEY want, etc…
    Certainly it is all about culture and outlook but you can't go against what and who you are. I can understand the origin of their thoughts, that they don’t (understand) : because we aren’t of the same generation and what they do is what they were raised with; but as long as it isn’t about them directly, I believe they have nothing to say about it moreover the fact that they basically want their children to be happy. By choosing what they want their child to be, they are not making them happy, on the contrary.
    Especially, you can’t decide those kind of things.
    That’s why I may understand where their way of thinking is coming from but cannot understand their decisions/« rules ».

    The qualities of a good parent are severals, but for me the most considerable ones are : being understanding, because everyone makes mistakes. And obviously, but some people are sorely lacking : being loving and showing it, it isn’t a shame.

    Finally, being a parent is a hard task that demands lot of responsibilities and qualities.

  8. Foremost, I think it is difficult to be a good parent. I don't think it's necessary to have strict rules since children will do stupid things behind their parents' backs. The most important thing your children need is love. For me, a good parent listens to the good and bad things, for example if you are upset or feeling bad you will tell them your concerns, that's why I find this essential. I think parents should encourage and value their children. Indeed, children are happy when their parents congratulate them and so they take self-confidence. Moreover, it is important to educate children and learn how to do good things because when they become adults they will repeat the same thing for their children.
